United's journey this season has been fraught with hardships, and even with the appointment of new manager Lonnick, the prospects for a fourth place in the Premier League are still uncertain. British media revealed that Ronaldo and Ronnick's transfer strategy has diverged. The Manchester United boss is looking to bring in a top midfielder this summer, while Cristiano Ronaldo has strongly demanded a top striker to join. Will this be the beginning of a new contradiction in the Manchester United dressing room, and where will Ronaldo go in the future? A series of troubles need to be resolved by the Red Devils.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United with great fanfare last summer, and for a time became the focus of heated discussion in world football. But his arrival did not allow Manchester United to become the protagonist of the Premier League again, and after 26 rounds, the gap between Manchester United and the leader Manchester City reached 17 points, and the title race was long out of hope. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 15 goals in all competitions for United so far this season, including nine in the Premier League. Although he is the top scorer in the Red Devils, there are still doubts about whether Manchester United can finally lock in the top four Champions League seats, which somewhat disappoints Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the arena, C Ronaldo has rushed into the locker room after the game many times, obviously with emotion. Off the pitch, the new manager Ronnick will be the top executive in charge of transfers at the end of the season, and he is keen to sign a top midfielder for Manchester United, but this is contrary to Cristiano Ronaldo's ideas. The British "Athletic" revealed that after the draw between Manchester United and Southampton, C Ronaldo and Ronnick officially had a showdown, asking Manchester United to introduce a strike partner this summer!
Note that Ronaldo's showdown is "asking" Manchester United to bring in a new striker, not a "request", which is enough to prove Ronaldo's anxious mentality. In Ronaldo's view, he is now isolated in the front line, which must be improved. Against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League match, C Ronaldo only had 1 touch in the opponent's penalty area, how could this be won? So Cristiano Ronaldo insisted that Manchester United change to 442, while Ronnick liked to use 4231 or 433 formations.
Today's Manchester United really does not have the conditions for a two-striker model. Whether it's Sancho, Marcus Rashford or Elainegar or Greenwood, they're only up to the wingers. The only centre-forward substitute, Cavani, has been plagued by injuries and is almost certain to leave Manchester United after the contract expires. In this case, Ronaldo's demand that Manchester United buy a new striker is understandable. But the question is, can Lonnick and The United hierarchy agree?
If United can't meet Ronaldo's requirements, there are only two possibilities. First, C Ronaldo disrupted the Manchester United dressing room, and the internal friction will make the Red Devils sink again; second, C Ronaldo left Manchester United in discouragement. So whether or not we can handle this matter directly determines the future fate of Manchester United. There are also British media revealed that Manchester United has considered introducing Kane this summer, which is good news for Cristiano Ronaldo, but can it really succeed? A big question mark also needs to be put on.
